About this opportunity
The U.S. International Trade Commission intends to award a one-year subscription to Fastmarkets Global Limited on a sole-source basis under FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source), with response deadline June 26, 2026.
The requirement covers a one-year subscription to Fastmarkets Forest, a consolidated resource bundling pricing and news data across graphic paper, paper packaging, pulp, recovered paper, and wood products and timber plus biomass. The subscription supports an International Competitiveness and Analysis economist in tracking forest products sector trends and producing economic analysis on productivity, supply chain relationships, and market competition. Fastmarkets Forest consolidates more than 3,500 forest product grades into a single platform; market research—including internet-based research, vendor product reviews, and industry expert consultation—identified no peer equivalent meeting the agency's requirements.
The performance period runs from July 5, 2026 through July 4, 2027 for the base year, with an option year extending through July 5, 2028. The estimated total value exceeds the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $25,000. The justification and approval document is attached.
